Lots of Boats tied up The first day of our visit to Puerto Cabezas, Nicaragua, we made our way to the commercial wharf. We found a large, clamourous crowd being kept off the wharf behind gates added sometime in the preceding 6 months. Beyond the gates were more than a dozen lobster diving boats in various stages of either off-loading at the end of a trip or loading up to head back out.

There was also a refrigerated container ship being loaded for its biweekly trip to Miami. We didn't know it at the time but, by that evening, only a few boats still be at the dock; had we shown up the next day, we'd have come away thinking it a quiet, sleepy place. Lots of Boats tied up
